    Verdict

    Though Desert Gulf arrives on a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Yarmouth, he may need fast ground and ASJAD has more scope in any case. Roger Varian’s Iffraaj gelding is 2-2 and hasn’t been set a stiff task on his handicap debut. Desert Doctor is an all-weather specialist who has never won on Turf.
